Chi

The cubs have lost 4 games in a row and 6 of the last 7 overall .Woth the playoffs hanging in the balance the cubs have lost the division lead.Look for them to wake up and break through here against a lowly pirates team with a mediocre pitcher on the mound.Brault is 3-1 but has a high ERA and we don't think he will get the run support with Lester dealing .Rake Chicago here in game 2.
